Photography tips
How this image was taken
Using an aperture of f/11 provides a deep depth of field for both the rock and the flowers, while the short shutter speed of 1/2500 s ensures a sharp image. The 138 mm focal length allows for a precise focus on the subject.
- Use a small aperture like f/11 to capture both the flowers and the fine details of the rock structure in focus.
- Select a short shutter speed to avoid motion blur caused by wind when shooting close-ups.
- Use a telephoto lens to focus on small alpine subjects and to carefully compose your background.
